Coach's Tips

Use a hex bar to do a squat-style deadlift with a more upright posture.

How to Hex Bar Squat

Starting Position

1. Stand inside the hex bar and grip the handles with both hands.

2. Feet shoulder-width apart, chest up, and gaze straight ahead.

Proper Form

1. Push your hips back and bend your knees to lift the bar.

2. Straighten your legs and rise, keeping your upper body straight.

3. Send your hips back and slowly lower down to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe out when you rise, and breathe in when you go down.

Precautions

1. Keep your spine neutral to avoid rounding your lower back.

2. Align your feet to prevent your knees from caving inward.
